Answer: Well there is a lot of free software available. BUT--Be careful when you scope out these Tech Soup posts which discuss freeware. Most of these require a download to your PC, which LANRU wants us to avoid on Staff PCs. However, there is one site suggested by Jeff in LANRU: http://www.doc2pdf.net/ It can convert a Word doc to a PDF withtin your browser. NO download of software to your staff PC. Just scroll down past the ads to the blue box labeled "Convert this document" and use the Browse button to navigate to the location of the Word doc you want to convert. Click the convert button and zip zap, it opens in a new window as a PDF. Then just use the Save a Copy Button on the PDF toolbar. Bonus Question: How many of you realize that the Save a Copy button is an icon for a floppy disk? Old techologies die hard, I guess!
